It follows the story of a Korean family in Japan that spans nearly. It showcases how this family survives and thrives despite the hardships and discrimination that comes along their way. A true emotional rollercoaster.

Seeking a book club

I’m a 29-year-old originally from Argentina, now living in Essex, and I’m looking to join a book club to connect with fellow readers and share my love of stories. Reading has always been one of my favorite ways to unwind and explore different worlds, especially through romance, dark romance, and thrillers. I’d love to be part of a group where we can have thoughtful discussions, exchange recommendations, and enjoy discovering new authors and perspectives together.

Hi, I’m currently studying FinTech at the University of Essex and living in Colchester. I’ve recently started reading more consistently and have really begun to enjoy it. I’m especially interested in psychology, fiction, and books that make you reflect a little deeper. I’m joining to meet like-minded people, discover new books I wouldn’t normally pick up, and have thoughtful but relaxed discussions. I’m open to different genres and looking forward to learning from others’ perspectives.

War Inc.

It's a satirical look at how big business, social media and politics collide. Who is really pulling the strings? Where does power really lie? All against the backdrop of a conflict taking part on a tropical island thousands of miles from Washington DC.
